The Huffington Post also mentions that 28.5 percent of medical abortions took place within the first nine weeks of pregnancy. It is concerning how many abortions took place then beyond when the FDA has recommended is safe.

2) Myth: Most women will not regret their abortions.

Reality: The emotional pain and guilt many women experience after their abortion is unimaginable.

Grief after abortion is common.

The abortion movement is fondof turning to a study, to do with women one week after they had an abortion, to claim that women do not regret their abortions. It is almost laughable that such a study would be legitimate. Women may take time to regret their abortions, after they have processed this decision. Words of Hope, a group focused on helping women heal after an abortion, mentions that some women feel relief, but also denial.

Reality: Doctors have testified that babies feel pain at 20 weeks, or earlier.

A preborn baby at 20 weeks

The Huffington Post points to various studies, with some even claiming that preborn children don’t feel pain until the 29th or 30th week of pregnancy. But doctors have spoken out that preborn children feel pain by the 20th week of pregnancy.

Also, it is worth questioning why surgery conducted on preborn children involvesanesthesia then, if they can’t feel pain.

4) Myth: Americans support legalized abortion.

Reality: Most Americans think abortion should be legal only in limited circumstances.

Abortion opinions over the years, from Gallup.

The Huffington Post claims most Americans support legalized abortion. The 78 percent which HuffPo claims supports abortion, is comprised, overwhelmingly, of those who support abortion only in some very limited circumstances.

The pro-life movement also points to the same Gallup poll to claim the tide is in their favor. However, when we accurately examine the matter, those who support abortion in some circumstances only support it in circumstances such as rape, incest, or when the life or physical condition of the mother is in jeopardy. The pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute notes that abortion is largely a procedure performed for socioeconomic reasons, not so much for these hard cases.

When abortion restrictions are in places, lives are saved. This includes preborn children as well as their mothers. And if abortion businesses cannot remain open out of a failure to comply with commonsense abortion regulations, that’s because the abortion industry is inherently dangerous. The 231 new restrictions passed over the last four years also reflect that the states and their citizens are dedicated to ending abortion.

6) Myth: Women rarely are coerced into their abortions.

Reality:Over half of women report being pressured or coerced.

The Huffington Post ignores the plight of women, who have been pressured or coerced into their abortion. Some have even been violently threatened.

Live Action News contributors Adam Peters and Kristi Burton Brown have reported on many forms of violence against pregnant women. Entire webpages have also been compiled dedicated to reporting the reality of coerced abortions.

7) Myth: Whether or not a woman is already a mother is relevant to abortion.

Reality: How many children a woman already has does not speak to the reality of abortion.

As Feminists for Life, a pro-life group which offers resources, says, “Women Deserve Better.”

In summary: The abortion movement is adept at lying to women. It has practically made doing so an art. But it is even more dangerous when it takes the efforts of those trying to educate women to save them and their children, and calls such truth out as lie.
